Curator’s note
In the summer of 2001 Anya and Matthew Schodorf met and fell in love in Highland Park, she from Nicaragua by way of San José and Glendale, he from Ohio by way of Ventura, and the cafe they opened was meant to be a side project until the market crashed and both lost their jobs. The café de leche Anya grew up on was Presto instant coffee stirred into milk warmed in a small pot stained black at the bottom, a sin in specialty coffee she makes no apologies for.
The Coffee
Water + Power, a washed Central American medium-dark of baker's chocolate, caramel and nutmeg, is the espresso blend, and Tranquilo, a sugarcane-process Colombia, is the decaf. The board runs a Mexi Mocha and an agave latte beside drip, matcha and Art of Tea iced teas.

The Vibe
Café de Leche's room on York keeps a band of amber and pale-blue glass squares over the clear windows, under a ceiling of exposed wood joists hung with black pendant lamps. A dark leather sofa, a tan leather armchair and a brass drum table take the window light beside a brick pier.
